We made it! It’s the last day of our 12 Days of Giveaways, and we’re going out with a bang.
The number one question I get is, “What brush do you use to groom your floofs?”
I’ve tested a lot of brushes over the years, and I always find myself going back to the same brush: the Oster grooming rake.
I received this recommendation a long time ago from a Great Pyrenees group on Facebook, and I always find myself going back to it.

This grooming rake is amazing. I’ve tried using other top rated rakes and brushed until the rake wouldn’t remove any more loose fur. Then I grabbed the Oster grooming rake and realized my job was only half way done.
Especially in the summer, the floofs appreciate me removing all the excess fur so their coat can function properly and keep them cool.
I’m also often asked how this compares to a Furminator. Personally, I do not recommend using a Furminator on Great Pyrenees. I’ve tried it on a few pyrs and have never been pleased with the results. Even the “thick coat” version can’t reach the depth of their coat, and it tears the fur, leaving your dog’s coat coarse and damaged.
After I used it a few times on Mauja, it took several months and a lot of high-quality conditioner to get her coat back in shape.

I only have one complaint about the grooming rake: the handle isn’t very comfortable. When you’re brushing floofs with a lot of fur (especially three of them), you need the handle to be comfortable. To fix this, I just wrapped some electrical tape around the handle, and it has made a huge difference.
Since I love this rake so much, I wanted to host a giveaway for three winners! Yes, I’m hosting this—not the brand—because I’m certain your grooming world will be changed with this rake.
If you want to take your grooming routine to the next level, I suggest adding The Stuff to your repertoire. It’s perfect for keeping the coat smooth and preventing and untangling mats.
But now, let’s get to the giveaway!
We’re giving away one (1) Oster grooming rake to three (3) lucky winners. Enter below!

Ohh!! I need one of these! Bella is a matted mess!
No, not yet.
I don’t have a grooming rake but I have a good brush.
I have a grooming rake, it’s so old the brand name has dissapyered. It’s my go to tool for my 2 big floods.
This looks awesome. The best think i have found is grooming gloves that my 2 pups will handle.
I have not found a good one yet and I haven’t tried this one so I’d like to see if it works great for my girl.
I haven’t found a good one. I want to win this one to try it so I can avoid the groomer.
Newfie says PLEASE!
no, i need one for short haired dogs, i have tried several but some are to hard on my dog’s skin.
No, we haven’t!! I do use a furmurator but I also feel like it tears at the hairs and I try to carefully brush – which is not easy.
I don’t have one but I would like to use it on my rottie mix and my pet sheep!
do these cut or just separate matts?
Thanks for the shot at your giveaway…..Ava needs a good brushing even as we speak.
I’m always on the lookout for a good rake! We have a chi brush that kinda sorta works but…it doesn’t work amazingly during coat blowing.
I have a grooming rake, it’s a complete fail. I have a Golden Retriever (needs to be brushed out at least 2x daily). I have a box full of brushes that work well on my Mastiff, but not my Golden.
I’ve been trying to find a good tool to use to remove my Pyrs hair. He barely tolerates being brushed, so I usually have one side done and he’s gone! hahahaa
Need a new grooming rake.
We have one and I love it! I’d gift this one to a friend who could really use it!
I like the Furminator, but would like to try something that gets through a thick coat. Thanks!
I haven’t found that one grooming rake yet.
